David Zweig explains in this Substack article how the totalitarian gestapo thugs in Santa Clara County, California went after churchgoers for disobeying stay-at-home orders, social distancing, masks etc. in 2020, spying on them with stakeouts from the property next door, leading to lawsuits.
There was never any reason for any of those crazy behaviors ordered by power-mad bureaucrats. Covid-19 was no more lethal to most people, that is, to 99.9% of the people, than seasonal flu. The only rule should have been that anyone who had actual symptoms should stay home. Quarantining of healthy people who don’t have symptoms is irrational, to say the least.
Joseph Mercola has a thorough summary of the lies that gubmint bureaucrats told us in every aspect of the Covid scam for the past 3 years, writing, “Lockdowns, social distancing, school and business closures, universal mask wearing, use of face shields and plastic barriers, travel restrictions, the use of PCR tests to diagnose infection, the choice of treatments and the safety and effectiveness of the COVID jabs — all of these countermeasures were based on a combination of lies, fraud and/or willful ignorance.”
However, there are still True Believers out there, who in my view seem to have some sort of cognitive dissonance. They’d rather believe evidence-free propaganda and trust their lying Rulers than consider facts and science that contradict what the Rulers have been telling us.
So here are some excerpts from the Mercola article:
On lockdowns Mercola writes:
…universal lockdowns have never before been used as a pandemic prevention measure, and for good reason. It doesn’t work. To prevent spread of infection, you isolate those who are actually sick. That’s how it has always been done.
Healthy people cannot spread infection, so there’s no reason to isolate them.
…
Meanwhile, study after study8,9,10 has confirmed that lockdowns had no beneficial impact on infection rates and COVID mortality. [See article for footnotes.]
On social distancing, he continues:
The evidence behind 6-foot social distancing rules were equally nonexistent. As noted by Ballan in a January 26, 2023, tweet, all social distancing did — and was intended to do — was to make people afraid of each other
And on the face masks, i.e. the oxygen-depriving suffocation muzzles,
Remarkably, the absence of evidence to support mask wearing for infection control were confirmed from the very beginning by the same agencies and organizations that ended up recommending and/or mandating universal mask wearing.
For example, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention policy review paper, published in May 2020, concluded that there’s “no evidence that surgical-type face masks are effective in reducing laboratory-confirmed influenza transmission, either when worn by infected persons (source control) or by persons in the general community to reduce their susceptibility.”25
Similarly, interim guidance by the World Health Organization, published in June 2020, stated: “At present, there is no direct evidence (from studies on COVID-19 and in healthy people in the community) on the effectiveness of universal masking of healthy people in the community to prevent infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.”
And worse, as I have noted here many times:
On the other hand, we now have evidence showing that mask wearing can cause harm, and again, some of this evidence comes from the WHO itself. For example, in its December 2020 interim guidance on masks,36 the WHO noted that mask disadvantages included “a false sense of security,”…
…
A German registry of reported effects among children found 68% experienced some sort of impairment, such as irritability, headache, poor concentration, reduced happiness, reluctance to go to school, general malaise, impaired learning and fatigue.37
Other investigations have revealed children are exposed to potentially dangerous elevations in carbon dioxide when wearing a face mask,38 and health care workers who wear masks for six or more hours have been found to be at higher risk of respiratory infections due to mask contamination.39 A dozen different volatile and potentially hazardous chemicals have also been identified in medical masks…
Mercola continues regarding the flawed and inaccurate PCR tests, and more, and notes that the banning of early treatments were “crimes against humanity.” (Seems that gubmint has been committing crimes against humanity in many areas of life and getting away with it, for decades!)
I very much recommend the Mercola article on Covid lies. I’m still seeing people out there with masks, walking alone outside in the open air or in their cars, etc. They’re just harming themselves, their lungs and their health. And frankly, I’m beginning to think that this obsessive mask wearing is a mental disorder.
It is very sad whenever I go out and see the many, many people still walking around with the useless, harmful face masks, those oxygen-depriving suffocation muzzles, on their faces. These people must be True Believers in whatever suggestions for self-harm that government bureaucrats tell them.
The True Believers are walking out in the open air and there’s no one around them, with suffocation gags on! They are driving in their cars alone! I feel very bad for these people.
And then when I see parents walking around with their little children, the parents have the kids wearing the oxygen-depriving, lung-damaging devices on their faces, and I just want to say out loud what child abusers they are. But of course I don’t do that. And yes, this is child abuse. Horrible. You are horrible, ignorant people out there doing these awful things.
The latest example has been the CDC director Rochelle Walensky who appeared before a congressional committee, stating that the CDC will not change its mask recommendation policy, that children should wear masks “when there’s a lot of disease in the community…” She means when the kids have to stay home with colds or flu which have for the past 3 years been renamed, “Covid.”
Meanwhile, at that hearing committee chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers noted, “CDC still recommends masks in schools for all ages, even though the emotional, mental, physical, and educational toll masking has had on our kids is widely recognized.”
And additionally, we know that healthy children are not at any risk of being seriously affected by so-called Covid. No healthy child died of Covid. Only those who were already suffering from serious comorbidities such as heart disease or kidney disease, cancer or other diseases, and/or were very obese were very negatively affected by Covid, supposedly. (See this and this.)
And then there were the hysterical panicked teachers who didn’t want to go into the school because they were afraid children could be “carriers” of the virus and pass it on to them. That was only out of hysteria and ignorance.
First, as I wrote here, that “carriers” of the virus but had no symptoms could spread the virus was a myth.
BUT, the kids’ immune systems had been negatively affected by lockdowns, social isolation and masks!
And much of the remainder of this post I will copy and paste from my post from last year that I just linked to, regarding the damn MASKS!
In some cases children have been sickened not by Covid but by bacterial pneumonia caused by the MASKS! The masks have been found to accumulate bacterial contamination. Most people don’t click on links, but if you want more info you can do that.
And there are many doctors out there who defend the mask wearing. Ignorant moron doctors.
(From my earlier post):
One study showed how easily the masks can be contaminated.
A group of parents in Gainesville, FL, concerned about potential harms from masks, submitted six face masks to a lab for analysis. The resulting report found that five masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi, including three with dangerous pathogenic and pneumonia-causing bacteria. No viruses were detected on the masks, although the test is capable of detecting viruses.
The analysis detected the following 11 alarmingly dangerous pathogens on the masks:
• Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia)
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis)
• Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis, sepsis)
• Acanthamoeba polyphaga (keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis)
Half of the masks were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with one or more strains of meningitis-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. In addition, less dangerous pathogens were identified, including pathogens that can cause fever, ulcers, acne, yeast infections, strep throat, periodontal disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and more.
The face masks studied were new or freshly-laundered before wearing and had been worn for 5 to 8 hours, most during in-person schooling by children aged 6 through 11. One was worn by an adult. A t-shirt worn by one of the children at school and unworn masks were tested as controls. No pathogens were found on the controls. Proteins found on the t-shirt, for example, are not pathogenic to humans and are commonly found in hair, skin, and soil.
Jeffrey Tucker cites several studies, one paper stating that “both medical and non-medical facemasks are ineffective to block human-to-human transmission of viral and infectious disease…Wearing facemasks has been demonstrated to have substantial adverse physiological and psychological effects. These include hypoxia, hypercapnia, shortness of breath, increased acidity and toxicity, activation of fear and stress response, rise in stress hormones, immunosuppression, fatigue, headaches, decline in cognitive performance, predisposition for viral and infectious illnesses, chronic stress, anxiety and depression. Long-term consequences of wearing facemasks can cause health deterioration, developing and progression of chronic diseases and premature death.”
This page from the Brownstone Institute has a list of more than 400 studies showing the failures of compulsory Covid measures. The 61 items on the harms caused by the face masks include:
According to Stanford University: “N95 masks are estimated to reduce oxygen intake by anywhere from 5 percent to 20 percent. That’s significant, even for a healthy person. It can cause dizziness and lightheadedness. For healthy people, these side effects are temporary and usually not an issue. But if you are severely ill and are continuously wearing an N95 mask for several hours at a time, it can damage the lungs. For a patient in respiratory distress, it can even be life threatening.”
Many face masks are unsafe and unhealthy, as Jon Rappoport notes, because they are reprocessed and “decontaminated” using ethylene oxide, which “increases the risk of lymphoid cancer and, for females, breast cancer,” and “CDC warns that ethylene oxide is carcinogenic and teratogenic, and that ‘inhalation of ethylene oxide has been linked to neurologic dysfunction…’” and, “Prolonged exposure to ethylene oxide can hurt eyes and LUNGS, harm the brain and nervous system, and potentially cause lymphomas, leukemia…”
And regarding whether anyone including children should wear those masks, early on “Doctor” Fauci said that “people should not be walking around with masks…there’s no reason to be walking around with a mask…When you’re in the middle of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better…And often there are unintended consequences, people keep fiddling with the mask, and they keep touching their face…”
That’s the end of the excerpts from that long earlier post. The government is not giving us the truth about anything, especially masks, “vaccines,” and everything else in the area of health.
Libs of TikTok has a Mega Thread tweet with over a thousand replies. Click on the tweet (either that link or the date on the tweet below) to read all the replies, and see a summary of the DAMAGE that the Covidians inflicted on the rest of us, for which they actually want us to grant them “amnesty”! FAT CHANCE! As I wrote in this long piece, Covid is a scam, and one big criminal scheme.
And if people don’t speak up about this and demand that the fascist Covidian rulers see jail time for their crimes, those criminals WILL do this to us again!
Now this current post is to do with the effects of Covid protocols, lockdowns etc. on kids (and adults), and the harmfulness of the masks.
The first fact to cite is that Covid-19 was never a threat to any healthy child who didn’t already have a serious health condition. Any “public health” officials who have over the past two years stated otherwise has been LYING to you.
And we know that asymptomatic “carriers” of The Virus had never posed any threat to others. If you have The Virus but have no symptoms then that’s because you do not have enough of a viral load to have symptoms and if you have no symptoms then you do not have enough of a viral load to be contagious.
That means that school teachers have nothing to fear from children who may have The Virus, and they should stop being hysterical and irrational. (Notwithstanding that government schools need to be abolished. But that’s for a different discussion.)
If a child has cold-like or flu-like symptoms, whether the child has Covid-19 or not, then that child with symptoms should stay home and not go in to school. That should have been the official policy throughout the scamdemic, but fascists had other ideas in mind, didn’t they?
Here is some more information on how children have been the least harmed by Covid-19:
According to an early study in June 2020 published in the Lancet, as described by ABC, “children, including infants, generally have mild symptoms of COVID-19, and even those who develop the disease severely enough to warrant intensive care unit admission are unlikely to die…The study found that the majority of patients under 18 years old experienced a mild disease…The authors suggest that their study likely paints a more dramatic picture than you would see on average because it pulled data from hospitals, where patients are more likely to be severely sick. Many children who get COVID-19 are likely to be asymptomatic, meaning they don’t need medical care…”
Another study from England in July 2021 showed that “99·995% of CYP (children and young people) with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test survived (Covid). The 25 CYP who died of SARS-CoV-2 equates to a mortality rate of 2/million for the 12,023,568 CYP living in England.”
The study also noted that “CYP >10 years, of Asian and Black ethnic backgrounds, and with comorbidities were over-represented compared to other children.” So, because of the over-representation of children with comorbidities and given that people with comorbidities had a much greater chance of dying with Covid-19, then that fact brings the fatality rate even lower!
An August of 2020 British study examining 69,516 Covid patients concluded, according to the Spectator, that “… No children without a serious comorbidity of an additional illness died, and neither did any child between the ages of 28 days and 15 years.”
But the kids and their immune systems have been harmed a great deal by lockdowns, social isolation, and by the masks! The stay-in orders by fascist governors and mayors, causing children to not get enough exposure to germs and viruses that they would get when going outdoors and mingling with others, actually deprived children of this natural immunity process. And this makes children more vulnerable to serious illness when exposed later to germs and viruses!
And regarding the social isolation aspect of stay-in orders, according to Medical News Today,
(The researchers) write: “Of note, high levels of inflammation are a driver for [cardiovascular disease]. Social isolation was linked to downregulation of type I and II interferons and an impaired response to infection by simian immunodeficiency virus.”
They note that in the wake of social isolation, it is the emotional rather than the physical separation that is the triggering factor in the body’s reduced ability to respond to adversity.
And Mercola points out that lockdowns may have contributed to increased mortality rates from non-Covid causes.
Many children have tested positive for The Virus (even though they probably falsely tested positive because of high cycle thresholds, and if they actually were sick with symptoms they probably just had a bad cold or flu). But in some cases they were really suffering from bacterial pneumonia caused by the MASKS! The masks have been found to accumulate bacterial contamination.
One study showed how easily the masks can be contaminated.
A group of parents in Gainesville, FL, concerned about potential harms from masks, submitted six face masks to a lab for analysis.

Watch Fauci flip-flop on masks. (A disclaimer: this video on the “Trump Fan Network” was the only video of this kind I could find right now. I want to make it clear that I am not a Trump fan.)
It is so sad to walk along somewhere outside and see some little kid with a mask on his face, covering his mouth and nose and thus his ability to breathe as well as having to conceal his identity, OUTSIDE even, because his parents are ignorant morons who listen to evil, psychopath government liars who do NOT have the best of intentions, to put it mildly, regarding people’s health. I just want to say to the parent, “You’re a child abuser!” (for making the child wear the harmful mask for no good reason). But I don’t say that, of course, even though it is true.
And here is Peggy Hall on the mask psy-op, in which the media are trying to brainwash the people to make masks acceptable, and even cool. “They’re trying to normalize these SKAMS, these identity stealing, identity concealing self-suffocation devices.”
I can see why visits to this blog here have dwindled, given all my little rants, my bitterness at the Covid scam continuing, my making fun of bureaucrats and so on. Many people really believe the propaganda and don’t like it when someone goes off the reservation, shows skepticism and “doesn’t take Covid seriously,” like all the good little unquestioningly obedient sheeple. Oh, well.
But I will continue, nevertheless.
Recently Steve Kirsch had this open letter to the Inspector General of HHS, regarding how the higher-ups at FDA, CDC and NIH are “deliberately suppressing any negative safety and efficacy data about the COVID vaccines” and “suppressing safe, effective treatments using widely available repurposed drugs and supplements,” and that those corrupt agencies need to be investigated. He gives a lot of good information there.
Well if the HHS Inspector General won’t investigate them, perhaps the new White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator (or uncoordinator, that is), Ashish Jha-Jha, can do such an investigation. He got his medical degree from Harvard after all, so being a Harvtard sure qualifies Jha-Jha to do that.
In mid-March of 2020 Jha-Jha was calling for a “national quarantine,” which I assume he meant the entire population? Even though it was already known by that time that the case fatality rate of Covid-19 would be roughly similar to that of seasonal flu.
Why would this “doctor” want to quarantine healthy people? And also, one reason for quarantines and lockdowns was to prevent asymptomatic carriers of The Virus to spread the virus unknowingly. But the bureaucrats already knew within a month of that that asymptomatic carriers are not contagious. The W.H.O. stated that, according to their studies by June of 2020. And even the corrupt Fauci, another Harvtard, had stated that.
And on the masks, when asked if the CDC should extend its unconstitutional mask mandate for airlines and public transportation, Jha-Jha gave a typical bureaucrat answer: “I know the CDC is working on developing a scientific framework for how to answer that…We’re going to see that framework come out, I think, in the next few days…This is a CDC decision, and I think it is absolutely on the table…”
How could this “Harvard-trained medical doctor” not know that most of the masks don’t do anything to prevent infections or protect others? Most honest doctors have stated that the public should not be wearing masks and that the only people who should be wearing the masks are medical personnel who are directly treating sick patients, and surgeons who are in surgery. What kind of “expert” answers by relying on the corrupt and incompetent CDC for a “scientific framework for how to answer that”? How could he not know about the potential harms of the masks?
CEOs of the major airlines wrote an open letter to Biden (D-Space Cadet) with some common sense on the issue, including the statement, “It makes no sense that people are still required to wear masks on airplanes, yet are allowed to congregate in crowded restaurants, schools and at sporting events without masks, despite none of these venues having the protective air filtration system that aircraft do.”
And the ignorant and/or lying Fauci on the Florida judge who struck down the public transport mask mandate: “For a court to come in and interfere in that, is really unfortunate. It’s unfortunate because it’s against public health principles, number one…Number two, it’s because that’s no place for the courts to do that.”
Apparently Fauci had never heard of … the LAW? And also, “against public health principles”? Forcing people to have anti-health masks covering their mouths and noses for no good reason? I’m sure Jha-Jha totally agrees with Fauci on this crap.
So, throughout this ONGOING scamdemic, it’s all about telling the people to suffocate themselves with face muzzles which is mainly as a psy-op to drill obedience and compliance into the people. And poisonous “vaccines” (that are not vaccines) produced by the snake-oil salesmen of the pharmaceutical industry. That’s what all this is.
So will the HHS Inspector General investigate the CDC, NIH and FDA in their suppressing the negative safety data of the “vaccines” that are not vaccines? Of course not.
But there is some good news. The city of Philadelphia has already ended its indoor mask mandate that it had recently reimposed. Yay!
